ent subscribes to all the methods of a
= ligious meeting or not, he would, if
nd permits his boy to be out at night at d
- rather have him in crowd of singh
o. and praying people than in the beer al
az whisky doggeries-or what is still mo
infatuating and dangerous to young boy
the Internal pool-dens. Encourage ever
thing that is good, and discourage ever
thing that is wrong, is the idea.
There was tremendous crowd at the
e E. Church tonight, there being thrt
L ministers present-Elders Lytle, of tt
: Christian Church, Lyons, of the Bapti!
Church. and Rev. Rudisill, of the M. ]
+ All these ministers, with Rev. A.
: Long, local preacher, did all in their pow
er to make the meeting a success s-an
!. they succeeded admirably. "A serie
of children's meetings have been conduct
ed at the M. E. for week or more. TIL
little fellows are taking an evident inter
est. They are urged to join the Churc
to which their parents belong. Their
is talk of starting new church here b.
some of the folks who formerly belonget
to the Salvation Army. We have not ye
heard the ne name of the new organiZa
ton.
SATURDAY.-A rainy, bad day. wv
II. Sloan, of Samsonville, called. Al
the meeting at Jones Hall tonight, there
were eight persons at the altar The
Salvation Army had a meeting at theil
hall, on lower Main street, and had mu-
| Sioa1 Stroat narade Tharn was q Oood
meeting at the M. E. Church this morn
ing, led by our young friend Tom Moore
Tom is one of our best young men, and led
the meeting in an excellent manner .....
Capt. Mccormick, Inspecting Officer, did
not inspect Francis Smith Post tonight
as anticipated. ..... Mr.. d. ]. Davis, of
Gambia, called to-day. He informs US of
| the death of old Mrs. Roberts, of
that neighborhood, who was buried yes
terday. She was the mother of Billy
Roberts, of Cross Roads. -. There has
perhaps been less trade in town this week
than during any week for long time. 1t
has been impossible to get into to town.
......J. w. Maginness writes to friend
here that while he was somewhat timid
about taking hold of the woolen mill de-
partment if the Penitentiary. still he has
had splendid success in the management
thereof, and has made splendid show
ing. He is now well pleased with his po-
sition. His family have all been afflicted
with bad colds for some time, but gener-
ally speaking ''Mc." is happy. And he de-
serves success, too. ......J. H. Bum is
slowly recovering from his recent exper-
fence with the surgeons, though his face
is still very sore. A similar case to that
of Mr.. Bum was operated upon by the
same surgeons a few days after Mr..
Bunn's case was attended to, and the pa
tient died from the effects. 49,. Friends
are taking up a subscription for the relief
of Mrs. Dobbins, widow of Andrew Dob
bins, who was killed some months ago by
the explosion of the boilers at Tropic
shaft. This good woman is left with a
house full of little fellows. Mr.. Dobbins
had over hundred dollars coming to him
from the late lamented Union Iron Com
pany. A few days ago Judge Miller re-
ceived, as Mrs. Dobbins share, little |
over five dollars, five per cent being the
extent of the defunct company's ability |
to pay. Some time ago we spoke of |
the amount of John Craig's pension as
being very large amount. 1t was so re-
ported at the time, but the actual amount
he received was seven hundred and nine
ty-four dollars and few cents. He gets
twelve dollars month.
SUNDAY.-The feature of to-day's expe-
rience was the great meeting at the Rink,
THIS afternoon, addressed by Maj. Camp.
That gentleman is extremely popular in
Jackson, and the announcement of his
coming was hailed with delight by every
body. Long before the time for the open
ing of the meeting, the great Rink build
ng was literally packed. There was
arge and excellent choir, led by E. G.
Powell, on the stage. Maj. Camp, with
lew others, pumped" the distance from
Wellston down, upon hand-car. return
ng to Welston after the meeting. He
was somewhat overheated when he ar
lived, but soon got to work and made,
Turing the meeting, two of his old-time
powerful and eloquent addresses. He
vas evidently glad to see his Jackson
friends again, and remarked that no sight ,
,ver looked prettier to him than to see {
he same old band Of singers on hand
lgain. The meeting did great good, and
demonstrates that the temperance senti-
nent is not tagging in this community. '
1.-The M. E. Church struck sort of
,oom in membership to-day, something
lear sixty persons joining. A large por- ,
ion of them were Sundry School chill
lren, who joined at the children's meeting
his afternoon. Rev. Lyons preached
o good-sized congregation at the Bap-
ist Church, tonight.
MoNDAY.-There are wonderful mad ,
log stories from the neighborhood of ;
Shepherd Stephenson's. The story in {
,rief is that some forty days ago dog in |
hat neighborhood bit number Of other
logs, as well as some pigs, and other I
took. Among the stock bitten-or rath-
II supposed to have been bitten-was a |
leifer belonging to Mr.. Stephenson. This
nimal had been for some days exhibiting
igns of rabies, and on last Saturday she {
vas caught and tied. On Sunday morn I
ng. so we are told, the heifer was dead. |
